Celebrating friendship, the global brands and newfound besties are dropping exclusive treats and unique Spotify experience for fans to share with their besties for a limited time
TORONTO, August 13, 2024 – Coca‑Cola® and the OREO® brands have teamed up as “besties” to create two exclusive and limited-edition products: OREO® Coca‑Cola™ Sandwich Cookie and Coca‑Cola® OREO™ Zero Sugar Limited Edition. Inspired by “besties” around the world, the two iconic brands are, for a limited time, sparking celebration amongst besties with the launch of two legendary products and unique digital experiences.
“The collaboration between OREO and Coca‑Cola is the perfect expression of the playfulness of OREO and the Real Magic at the core of the Coca‑Cola brand – and we couldn’t be prouder to bring these new products and unexpected moments of connection to our Canadian fans,” said Solange Grimard, Senior Marketing Manager for Canada at The Coca‑Cola Company. “We’re looking forward to Canadian besties joining us in celebrating this first-of-its-kind collaboration.”
Limited Edition will be available for a limited time only beginning in September
“We are constantly working to excite our Canadian consumers with unique launches and surprising experiences. This time, we’re taking it a step further by celebrating the newfound bestie bond that OREO and Coca‑Cola share, bringing a twist on two classics to our fanbases across the country,” said Sarah Au, Marketing Director, Cookies at Mondelēz Canada.
OREO® Coca‑Cola™ Sandwich Cookie and Coca‑Cola® OREO™ Zero Sugar Limited Edition will be available for a limited time only and will offer unique experiences that celebrate the magic and playfulness of teaming up with a bestie.
Both products feature a captivating design and sleek packaging, adorned with the distinctive OREO® cookie embossments and stacked Coca‑Cola® bottles. With each sip of the Coca‑Cola® OREO™ Zero Sugar Limited Edition, fans can savour a refreshing Coca‑Cola® taste with flavourful hints inspired by OREO® cookies, creating an unparalleled experience from these new-found besties.
The limited-edition OREO® Coca‑Cola™ Sandwich Cookie boasts a distinctive design with a red and black colour-blocked design featuring one signature OREO chocolate Coca‑Cola wafer cookie on one side and a red-coloured Golden OREO wafer embossed with one of three unique designs on the other. These cookies are stuffed with a creamy filling and popping candy, each bite designed to transport you to the experience of drinking the beverage.
‘BESTIES’ fosters connections beyond boundaries through immersive digital experiences, inviting fans to activate ‘Bestie Mode’ and team up with their closest friends to participate. Created in partnership with Spotify, the OREO® and Coca‑Cola® brands will unveil the ‘Bestie Mode Digital Experience,’ an exclusive platform and first-of-its-kind musical experience designed for besties to merge music tastes and enjoy together.
By scanning a QR code on Coca‑Cola® and the OREO® brand products, fans can follow the steps to explore ‘Bestie Mode’ and sync up music preferences with their bestie. Spotify Free users will also be invited to access the bestie experience via on platform promotion. Once connected to a Spotify account, fans will be prompted with questions to see how their taste in music stacks up against their bestie’s. A playlist will be generated with combined music preferences for besties to enjoy together.
